Description

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Tiki culture became popular in the US – brought to the mainland by US servicemen coming back from being stationed in Polynesia. At the same time, with satellites, animals, later humans reaching orbit, the public became fascinated with outer space.

This t-shirt pattern takes inspiration from the space race, and the designs used on Aloha/Hawaiian shirts popular at the time to imagine what mid-century designers might have come up with, had they had the images of planets we currently enjoy.
